Frequently Asked Questions

Q

How much fragrance oil do wax tablets need?

Wax tablets use a higher fragrance load than candles: 8–12% by weight. Since there is no flame, the wax releases scent through evaporation alone.

  • Light scent: 6–8% fragrance load
  • Standard: 10% fragrance — most common for home use
  • Strong: 12% — for large rooms or sachets in drawers
  • Always use candle/soap-safe fragrance oils
Q

Which wax is best for scented tablets?

Soy wax is the most popular choice. It holds fragrance well and has a clean white appearance that shows off embedded botanicals.

  • Soy wax: best scent throw, affordable, easy to work with
  • Beeswax: natural honey scent, premium look, higher cost
  • Coconut wax: creamier texture, excellent scent throw
  • Paraffin: cheapest, strongest scent throw but less eco-friendly
Q

How long do scented wax tablets last?

Wax tablets release fragrance for 2–6 weeks depending on wax type and fragrance load. They last longer in enclosed spaces like drawers and closets.

  • Drawer/closet: 4–6 weeks of scent
  • Open room: 2–3 weeks
  • Refresh by gently sanding the surface to expose fresh wax
  • Store in sealed bags to preserve scent before use
Q

How much does a DIY wax tablet cost?

A medium 2.5 oz scented wax tablet costs $0.20–$0.50 to make depending on wax type. Retail tablets sell for $5–$12 each.

  • Soy wax: ~$0.08/oz
  • Fragrance oil (10%): ~$0.05 per tablet
  • Dried botanicals: ~$0.04 per tablet
  • Total: $0.20–$0.50 vs $5–$12 retail
